Lexington KY to Yorktown VA 20009

Day # 2 I forget it puts them in backwords or from the bottom up. We will start from there. The bottom picture is a picture of our Hotel Saturday night. It was downtown Lexington and a couple of blocks from UK. We woke up Sunday morning and went to church in Nicholasville KY. Roy was there in Nicholasville for 6 months. They have now gone from 2 wards to 5 wards and a YSA Ward. We went to Sacrament, talked to a few people, some Roy vaguely remembered and them went back to the hotel to change and took off. About 45 minutes later, just and Wyatt and I had fallen asleep, Garrison starts yelling Parker is throwing up. It took a minute to register, luckily there was an exit not to far down the road and a gas station, we cleaned up best we could and got back on the road. Luckily he only got his clothes. We get back on the road and are following the GPS and about 10 minutes on this hwy Roy wonders if we are going the right way so he pulls out his google map on his phone and wonders why google has us staying on the interstate and the GPS has us going around the through the mountain, needless to say, it was about an hour detour at least. We went from 1100 feet to 3200 feet and back down. The snow in WV was getting deep, that is what these next pictures are, are from the roads in WV. The roads were never terrible, but we found out when we tried to stop for dinner that the only fast food restaurant that was open was Hardee's and that the power had been out for a day and a half and was just coming back on. We patiently waited and the registers were not working yet so we did everything by calculator. It was quite fun, so needless to say our 8 hour drive ended up being 12 hours. We finally made it into Yorktown at about 12:00 am. What fun. No complaints by the kids, surprise, surprise! More to come.

August 2009

School started this year on August 19, 2009. Being the great mom that I am, I forgot to take school pictures this year. Devin is entering Junior High at Washington JR. High, Garrison is in 4th grade, Miranda is in 2nd grade and Parker and Wyatt get to hang out with me. We are all keeping plenty busy. We have 4 kids signed up for soccer, 3 kids taking piano lessons and 2 in gymnastics. One of them twice a week. Roy is the Ward clerk so we don't see him before church. I am in the RS Presidency so off and on during the week I have things going on. Wyatt is so used to me going to meetings that when I dropped Garrison off at scouts, he told me he had a meeting at the church and needed to go in. Garrison will receive his Bear in November 2009. Devin has his Life and if he gets going can have his Eagle by the time he is 13 or shortly thereafter. Parker keep asking when he gets to go to a big school with lots of kids, he doesn't realize how soon it will be here. Wyatt keeps talking about Grandpa and Grandma coming out and says they can sleep on the couch. Grandma gets the big couch and Grandpa gets the little couch with Parker. Nice and cozy.
